The 'death' of BBI could send political big guns back to the drawing board and trigger fresh realignments ahead of the 2022 General Election. However, with the law change initiative popularly known as the BBI facing legal headwinds and possible collapse, 2022 presidential contenders have been sent back to the drawing board. But National Assembly Majority Chief Whip Emmanuel Wangwe expressed optimism that the BBI process remains on course despite the "small hiccup". Nyeri Towm MP Ngunjiri Wambugu admitted that the BBI process was definitely going to lead to political realignments ahead of 2022 but remained optimistic that "reggae" is still on. "The court must be aware that there are legal timeliness that would effect the 2022 elections should determination on the BBI process be delayed,” he said.
